According to Variety, Kerry Washington and her Scandal co-star Katie Lowes (who plays Quinn Perkins) are executive-producing a ShondaLand series that's in development at ABC.Β Look at Shonda Rhimes keeping her actresses workingβ€”and behind the camera, too, where folks say the real money is.Β 

The untitled show is a dramedy about a group of nannies, the families they work for and each family's support staff. Rhimes is keeping it in the family, since the series' pilot writer is also a current executive at ABC.

Remember we told you about all the projects that Rhimes has in development at ABCβ€”never mind the three shows she already has on the air Thursday night? Nice to see that she's showing Washington and Lowes the producer ropes in Hollywood. Β
